Skeleton Marionette Puppet
August 5th, 2009 by John Wolfe
Truth be told, I don’t get out as often as I should, but I still feel qualified in saying I’ve never seen anyone who could bring pieces of plastic, wood, and strings to life in a manner even remotely close to this gentleman. Not only did his talent catch my eye, but the fact he uses a skeleton marionette for a puppet didn’t hurt either. The look and style of the skeleton reminds me of some Day of the Dead decor. At one point, towards the end of the video, the skeleton humorously reacts to what’s (not) being dropped into the tip container. If you look closely, you’ll notice there were only a few coins left behind. It’s a shame, because the amount of creativity and hours of practice, just to present such a street performance, is worth far more.
Tips aside, it’s a GREAT video and I guarantee, if you’re feeling down, there’s nothing like a singing and dancing skeleton to put a smile on your face.

but my quantity will be quite a bit less until after Halloween. I have so many projects (big and small) to finish prior to Halloween night, I’ll be posting once a week, instead of my usual two to three times a week. But I will definitely be back in my full blogging mode by November.
